Brisk Florida, and Scrabble...

Well the weather dropped below freezing which meant Gracie put on her little shirt, which I probably bought her 8 years ago! Plus my mom, Deb and I played Scrabble last night...with Deb winning and instantly retiring from play as a winner. We've only played 4 games so far, so we will have to cram quite a few in these last few days. Deb made the word "jube" which I challenged. I lost as it surprisingly was a word!

Mini golf...and more

Today we got out and went mini golfing...we had a 7-some, 8 if count TJ... Had lots of fun even with the cold and windy weather, as you can with the many layers my mom was sporting. Ces was cute putting...more like pushing the ball to the hole. As I was generous in my score keeping, she won by a long shot. :-) My brother and I even got holes in one. After playing I'm still not the best putter, so my upcoming new years round still has much riding on it! Later in the day my sis brought over her dogs, Ginger and Madison. Ginger is still such a lap dog, always vying for a lap to sit on. More later...

And Cesilie, too!

Cesilie has really grown up since we were last here, which wasn't all that long ago. ...some of her favorite gifts came out of my brothers stocking including a harmonica! I kept saying hobos play harmonicas and she'd just laugh! Great times with our niece and nephew!

Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas all! We are in Florida and had a wonderful day, we finally got to meet our nephew, Tim Jr... Hope everyone had a great day as well!!

Denver...and Legos!!

We had a great time in Denver this past weekend...one of my highlights was building Legos with Madison. She is 9 and quite the Lego builder. I had a flashback to my youth building with her.

We were working on the new Lego space shuttle. Deb and I thought it was fitting for Christmas considering Deb's work and all. I thought it was perfect because when I got the original space shuttle years ago, it was awesome!

I know we have more pics from the weekend, will post soon. Including bottling and sampling Deb's dads beer creations.

Things have been crazy for us lately...I'll be sure to fill you all in when some things get settled...
